225 Ways: Small changes can save some big bucks

Take care of yourself financially and emotionally

27. Teach your children to save from the moment they comprehend it. They’ll have a head start on the rest of the population and can become humanitarians and philanthropists much earlier in life than most.

28. Eat at home — and eat leftovers. You’ll be amazed at how much extra money you’ll have in your pockets.

Take care of your emotional self

29. Choose your attitude. It sounds simple, and it is — but it’s not easy. Viktor Frankl’s opus, “Man’s Search for Meaning,” calls the ability to choose your own attitude “the last of the human freedoms.”

30. Let go of all your grudges and feelings of victimhood. They only weigh you down and slow your progress.
